max·i·skirt [mak-see-skurt] S
a long skirt or skirt part, as of a coat or dress, ending below the middle of the calf but above the ankle.
At first I was a bit hesitant to wear them. I thought they would hug my curves in all the WRONG places and show some of my imperfections. BUT, I found a few skirts and dresses that I just LOVE! It literally feels like I am wearing pajamas but looks so polished and put together!
Nordstroms has some in a variety of colors, although I would stay away from the lighter colors;they show the butt dimples. Old Navy has a navy blue maxi skirt that I really like; affordable and flattering. BUT, the best maxi skirts I have found are at Anthropologie. They are heavier in weight and hang just right. They feel like you are wearing your favorite blanket; so soft and cozy.
For the fall, I am pairing my maxi skirts with a fitted tank (patterned or plain) and a solid cardigan waist length or a jean jacket, and knee high boots. When you have a loose flowing skirt pair it with a fitted top for shape to avoid looking like a tent. Same goes for the length of the cardigan or jacket. Have it hit at the waist to avoid looking disproportionate and to show off that "junk" you got in your trunk!
(AND, if you are short, you can just roll the waist up or get it hemmed)
Would LOVE to get any questions or comments from you guys!
Cheers!!
